Kubuntu is a free, user-friendly Linux distribution based on KDE's desktop software and on the Ubuntu operating system. It has a biannual release cycle. Besides providing an up-to-date version of the KDE desktop at the time of the release, the project also releases updated KDE packages throughout the lifetime of each release.

To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "kdelibs" and "plasma-desktop" packages and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

What a nice surprise! All the daily builds of Kubuntu 18.04 (beta status) already offer great stability. Stress test with bluetooth, installation, ease of use, app collection - joyful. KDE 5.12 is a great stepp forward and two things have been fixed: Discover works like a charm and KDE is by no means a heavy weight. Fast boot and ram usage like Xfce, great. Have not had an issue so far. Final release must be excellent.

It runs smoothly, 17.04 was better and I hope 18.04 will as goot as 17.04 was.
It needs not much RAM, CPU works quietly, some bad applications were replaced with much, much better
like discover with Muon or DragonPlayer with VLC - a very wise decision.
It's stable and responsive.
You gain peace of mind using this system because nothing breaks.

The bad thing is not Broadcom driver after installation
despite the fact I marked option install proprietary software.
